Amazon.com Review
There's something clean and pure about cookware that's stainless steel inside and out. This stylishly finished version from KitchenAid's Gourmet Essentials series features a brightly polished interior that discourages food from sticking, and a handsomely brushed exterior with a shiny band along the rim. Each pan is entirely constructed of premium 18/10 stainless steel, except for the encapsulated aluminum disk in the base (aluminum makes a superior conductor of heat), and the silicone grip encasing the handle. Even the tight-fitting lids are stainless steel. Each piece is oven-safe to 400 degrees F and is dishwasher-safe.

Whether you want to fry up pancakes for breakfast, warm soup for lunch, or feed chili to a crowd, this set more than accommodates your most typical cooking needs. The 1-, 2-, and 3-quart saucepans all come with lids, as does the large 8-quart stockpot. The 8- and 10-inch French skillets are nice and deep, great for poaching eggs or stir-frying veggies. Stainless steel cooks most efficiently at medium heat, and can be used to start a dish on the stovetop and finish it in the oven. An excellent value, the set is covered by a lifetime limited warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Value - Great Style   August 25, 2008
Minnesota Foodie
Hi All,
I purchased the cookware set after reading the reviews. I really researched before I purchased. I wanted a heavy duty set of cookware, without paying an outrageous amount of money. I am completely satisfied with my purchase. They are well made and heat up quickly. My favorite thing about them are the silicone handles. I have a gas stove, and it makes it much easier to adjust the position of the pot, with the cool touch handle.

Several reviews have indicated they are difficult to clean. I have not encountered that issue,simply rubbing any stuck on food with a baking powder paste seems to keep them shining.

Hope this helps!



4 out of 5 stars Mostly love it   August 24, 2008

We purchased this set after much deliberation and research. Consumer reports find them best in the SS category. We found that although we do like them, I was instantly disappointed upon opening the box to see a solid SS lid. The picture, after looking at the product's website and Amazon's site seemed as though the lids were clear glass. Not so. Also, they seem to keep a stain of even boiled water after use, coming out a tad dirty looking after going thru the dishwasher. After a light scrubbing with steel wool pads, they are fine. Word to the wise: I originally wanted to purchase a better non-stick set but realized that you could not mash potatoes or 'brown' items in those. The regular SS is still the best cooking tool for all-around use.

I bought this set after weeks of going back and forth between this set and Revere Ware. I wanted the Revere but heard that it wasn't made as well anymore and after reading all the great reviews about Kitchen Aid decided to buy it. I LOVE this set of cookware!! The pots are heavy, but not too heavy, with great grip handles. Things cook beautifully and clean up is easy. I heard that vinegar would get rid of caked on food and it does! This was the best set to get and I'm so happy with it! It's gorgeous!!


1 out of 5 stars Terrrible pans!   July 27, 2008

Lets start off with the rivets leaking! Pans will not hold water. Then I started to use the fry pans, low to med heat and Pam sprayed on the cooking surface. Bacon sticks, eggs stick however I know these are not teflon, however you shouldn't need a screw driver and a hammer to get your food to release. Now try to get the stains off, vinagar or Bon Ami or Bar keepers friend does help but just not worth the effort. I am going back to my cast iron skillets, much easier to clean..


5 out of 5 stars Best online purchase I have ever made   July 17, 2008

I had been thinking about buying a set of cookware for some time and wanted to do my research. This is some of the best stainless steel you can buy at an affordable price. With the Kitchen Aid brand, you know it's going to be a quality product. When I recieved my cookware, I was even more impressed at how heavy each piece is. The bottoms of the pots and pans are nearly half an inch thick! The silicon handles are very nice and cool to the touch and the lids fit nicely on the cookware.

And it's been another great shopping experience with Amazon too. This product was on sale, then there was a Kitchen Aid sale on top of that, and after applying for an Amazon.com VISA and saving [...], plus free super saver shipping... I only paid [...]Without a doubt, this is the best online purchase I have ever made.
